Hello! As above in the title, i'm looking to lose 130lbs. I would REALLY like some support, and a few people to talk to. I am currently 5'8 and 260lbs :( Time to get down to 130!

I've done this multiple times and I have failed. I suffer from Binge Eating Disorder and I have been fighting through it as of 9/9 and it's been a roller coaster already. If you are willing to chat for encouragement, or anything, please let me know! I'm accepting friend requests always. :)

Have a great night!

Courtney

    You can succeed this time. Take small steps one at a time. Read the sticky posts at the top of each forum. I don't have dcpeyoence with the ED but I've lost 105 in 15 mo on my way to -150.

    You can do this. I started at 490 pounds on July 6th and am looking for a final goal of 190 pounds. I know this will take a couple years. Weight loss is a marathon for people who are looking to lose quite a bit. But you have made a decision to do it. Have confidence in yourself. I'm down 35 pounds in nine weeks.

    By the way, MFP is a great tool. Use it to help you on your journey.

    Lets do this! I'm 5'7" 220#. No specific weight in mind, as I need to learn how much I can eat and what weight I can maintain for the rest of my life. We're a work in progress! ☺

    Good for you! For what it's worth, I'm 5'9", 140, and a size 6. So, 130 might be on the low side for your goal. You may have less to lose than you think to be happy with your weight.
